I am a labour economist who uses applied micro-econometrics to study how policy-relevant issues in labor, education, and health affect Human Capital with special attention to disadvantaged children.

For instance, I have studied how setting minimum academic requirements to enroll into athletic activities or obtaining a driving license can improve high school graduation and crime rates, the increasing relevance of grandmothers as childcare givers, the birth order effect, how personality traits affect productivity, and the dynamic and heterogeneous impacts of experiencing the death of a sibling.
